I am applying for the Fall 2015 smester in the Second Degree sequence and I wanted to see who is out there that can give me some advice or commiserate!
I am so nervous about my essay... Their instructions are slightly vague and I am unsure of how to capture their attention and convey my passion for nursing.
Do you think I will get in with 2 years CNA experience as a school "nurse" and a 3.6 pre-req GPA?
Ugh. It seems like it's taking me forever to write this essay. These questions don't really spark my interest to write. The first question gives you some room to do your own thing but the other two are straight forward. Like they can be answered in like 3 sentences but I find myself having to stretch them out. I'm not sure if I can make two pages . Although we just can't go over two. I spoke with an advisor and they said I can apply to the program but they won't consider my LPN. That makes no sense to me. But I don't make the rules. At least they are quick with decisions. That's considerate.
I turned my application in over a week ago and I feel way better, but I am freaking out about my degree conferral x.x I check my oasis compulsively and it is exhausting to be this nervous.
I spoke with an advisor and they said I can apply to the program but they won't consider my LPN. That makes no sense to me. But I don't make the rules. At least they are quick with decisions. That's considerate.
They probably only meant that it is not included on your blind profile and that it does not give you an automatic advantage over other people. However, definitely include your experience in your essay and elaborate on why your time as an LPN has prepared you for the program and nursing. Sure, you're an LPN, but are you ready for their program? That's what they're looking for.
I'm trying to submit my application by monday... this essay is giving me headache. I'm surprised they don't ask for any letters of recommendation or resume or anything like that. Has anyone submitted and been moved to committee?
